I had to be flexible with our composition and placement of us in the frame. Time was of the essence and readjusting the lights and changing power settings was not an option. That's why the exposure had to be consistent across the frame...

I recently won the prestigious 2017 APA Award in the Student/Emerging category. This was such a surprise to me and an incredible honor to be recognized alongside so many great photographers. Because of this award, I decided to create a breakdown of how I made the winning photograph.

This was a 3 light set up, Key light was a Profoto D2 in a Profoto 3 foot octo camera left, rim light was a Profoto B1X in a Large Profoto deep white umbrella with diffusion on camera left, and fill was a Profoto B1X in a 6x6' scrim directly behind me.
